Olixar metal prop tablet stand

Christmas present

Arrived very quickly. Seems quite lightweight which is good. Also folds down to a compact size so easy to carry around if needed.

Olixar metal tablet prop stand

Perfect for me if the tripod arm at the rear was adjustable

Although I like the product and it works very well l think it would have been perfect for me if the tripod arm at the rear was adjustable so any angle is available.

Stylish way to display your iPad

This is a really stylish way to view your photos, video's etc.. Looks good, is very portable and takes little space. Highly recommended.

Brilliant bit of gear

I liked its folding up size and bag that made it easy to transport, also sits high enough off the table to allow charging cable to be connected. Ideal for what I was looking for and far cheaper than any other similar item

iPad Air 2

Topples over if you tap top corners

If you only plan to watch films and the like, this stand is perfectly adequate. It's compact and looks quite nice.
However, I work with kids using educational apps on it. As soon as a child taps a top corner, there is nothing in place to support the top corners and over it goes. I used it for several months before I got sick of it constantly falling over. Often I needed to hold this stand manually to keep it from falling over while my iPad was being played by a child.
For me this stand isn't fit for purpose, but this is all down to how you'll actually use it. For most adult use it would be fine.

Needs modifing

The stand is great once you apply some pressure to the back leg to open it wider. Bend it out a bit more.
As it arrives it will not stand up.

Really happy.

I bought two of these for my kids to use at school. The best bit is the support that the iPads/tablets sit on is long enough so that items in cases can also fit.They said that it is easy to use and made it easier to do their school work. It fits in their bags really easy when it folds up.
I originally thought the price was expensive but after handling it it is well made and on comparison to other products I feel it's worth it.

Olixar Metal Tablet Prop

Does exactly what it promises

Had to return first one due to one of the holding lips being loose. Replacement came in a few days and is working exactly as described. Good metal construction, very stable and balanced and my 9.5" tablet sits very securely on the stand.

Metal tablet prop stand

Nice little tablet stand

Nice little tablet stand. Bit wobbly as no locking mechanism so can fall over easily. Good for the price though.

doesn't work its too small poorly made

I liked the picture that persuaded me to order it for its practicality
but as for anything else I did not like it at all
I am returning it
it is unusable
it doesn't fit the iPad pro it continues to fall over ..worst item I have ever bought

Hi Carmen,
We've just tested the product with the iPad Pro, and it appears to work in both landscape and portrait without falling over.
It sounds like your product may be faulty, in which case we apologise for this and suggest returning it for a replacement item.
My other suggestion is to make sure the middle leg is pushed as far as it will go, as this can sometimes be a bit stiff.

Olixer iPad stand

Whilst the service from this company was excellent, this product itself is not. The stand doesn't sit squarely on the bench and toppled when placing the iPad upon its legs. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product.

I Pad Mini

useful way to store the i pad

The stand was a lot heavier than I was expecting and although I have managed to get it into a position to hold the I Pad for my mum to use so she doesn't have to hold it while we are on face time, I can't work out how to change the position for a better angle! Some simple diagrams might have helped me sort it out (in the absence of a handy 6 year old child.....). Delivery excellent - I was worried the things I ordered might not arrive in time for mum's birthday but they arrived within a couple of days of ordering.

Hi Susan
You can adjust the angle slightly by manipulating the rear leg and you can also lay flat the stand and pull out the little leg situated within the rear part of the stand to provide a comfortable typing position.
Hope this helps.

Cheap replica of Twelve South Compass 2

I bought this because I though I could really use this stand. When it came it was already "unusable". The small legs that support iPad on stand are somehow on different level. What I mean by that: when you open them they are not on same level and there is like 2-3 mm difference in height. And because of that iPad is not firm on the stand.
It is really cheap and bad replica of TwelveSouth Compass 2.
So I would suggest to buy this stand. Too bad it looked really promising.

7inch tablet

Perfectly designed for purpose

This handy neat little item folds out of it's soft bag container to form a perfect stand for either viewing or typing (different angles) in either portrait or landscape positions. The rubber feet & fold-out support tabs hold your device firmly in position and are easily adjusted in seconds to fit different items. Also has a well-constructed solid feel to it. All in all, a useful item at a good price.

Great stand

Just what I wanted - a solid, well-made, well-designed stand for my iPad, that works well and looks good.

The support folds away neatly and fits in a small bag. It unfolds to support the tablet in several ways, to allow viewing of videos clips (more upright) and for typing (flatter).

Compact Strong Stand

I have searched for a strong stand for ages and used book stands small easels etc
None are as strong as this and the bonus is that it folds up so small
Ap[art from use with my tablet it can be used to support a small white board used for notices etc

Nice piece of kit

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this stand. It folds up into a neat little pouch. It is just what I was looking for when using the iPad for watching films. I'm looking forward to using it on my next flight, where it will sit neatly on the seat table.
Recommended!!!

"Impressed with the website and the follow up contacts including the voice text seconds after receiving delivery. My order was placed after 6pm but was delivered by mid morning the second day after. This sort of service makes me feel valued and and keen to place future orders with MobileFun. Well Done!"

"Pre-ordered an Samsung Gear 3 at the beginning of November and although there was a considerable wait for the stock to arrive, Mobile fun kept me informed the whole time. Received my Gear 3 a few days earlier than expected, so very pleased. The staff member on the comments section for the Frontier watch was getting a lot of grief from anxious customers, but I felt his/her responses were honest and professional and after reading their comments, I felt reassured that Mobile Fun were doing everything possible to keep their customers up to date with the latest stock arrival dates."
